About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I've grown up with 8 pets, and recently started taking care of family friends dogs. I recently got a puppy so I have started training her! I understand how to give dogs medication and feel comfortable picking up potty in the house. I work at a middle and high school so during the summer I am completely open to take care of animals! Let me know what you need! I make sure to give the pets plenty of attention while also observing when they need to go outside. I like to give walks to help with exercise.
“Madison is Amazing! She easily won the heart of our fur baby! She walks our girl every week day! Super responsive and willing to go above and beyond! We had to suddenly change dog walkers due to a move but Madison made it very easy! Highly recommend!!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Now, as a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup when you can’t be there. I work in the medical field, so I’m very attentive, dependable, and comfortable following specific instructions and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’m comfortable giving shy or more cautious dogs the time and patience they need to warm up. I’ll care for your pup the same way I’d want someone to care for mine and will always send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing. I typically work about three days a week, which gives me flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll also have much more open availability from late November through mid-January. I’ll care for your pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and stick closely to their normal routine. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“Morgan is a true dog lover and such a professional. She is so thorough with her updates every single day. She includes multiple (super cute) pictures of our dogs with details of their time together on walks. She also stays beyond walk time to play fetch with the pups and always makes sure they have water and food before she leaves! Morgan is truly the best and her praises can’t be sung enough. We feel so happy knowing that our dogs are in such loving care with her. You won’t regret choosing Morgan!”
“Brooke has been a life saver for our dog Buck. She really cares for him like her own dog and is always super responsive. We love seeing all of the pictures she includes and always updates us on his walks. Highly recommend Brooke to care for your pet.”
“Lauren was fantastic!!! Super thorough on how to take the best care of my little boy, so flexible with the drop in visit (which went great and my dog was super comfortable) when it came time for the actual walks my dog got super shy and Lauren was patient, took the time to get Louie to cozy up to them again and even FaceTimed me to see if it would help Louie and it did. Will 1000% be booking again !”
“Viva truly understands dogs. She absolutely adores them, and they absolutely adore her!!! She exudes positive energy. She asks thoughtful, thorough questions and communicates really well. With Viva, you know your precious dog is in the best possible hands ❤️”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. They seem to know that I genuinely love being around them, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾 I’m experienced with feeding, exercise, medications, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m attentive to the little things that help them feel secure and cared for. I also take pride in caring for your home. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure things are well cared for while you’re gone. You’ll come home to a happy, well-loved dog and a clean, cared-for home. I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. ❤️ Dogsitting is my full-time gig so if I’ve taken you on as a client, your dog will receive the absolute best care, with attention given to their routine, including walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles. In my home, your dog will receive the pet-centered care they deserve per your directions (feeding, walks, etc) They will have a room to feel safe, inside or outside a crate. They will be encouraged to sit on the couch or in a dog bed for chill time, receive frequent walks (I do not currently have a fenced yard) and will be left alone for 2-3 hours max.
“She did great with my dogs! I was nervous about her coming in when I wasn't home but it all went fine. Unfortunately I've had some life updates that have kept me home the past two weeks and didn't need the help.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! Starting when I was in elementary school, I began pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I cared for my dog, Zoe, for 15 years, before she passed away in 2019. I know how to care for senior animals who might need medication or struggle with sight/hearing or going to the bathroom. I’m accepting of any and all animals! I previously worked at a Doggy Daycare, which helped me gain experience with various dog breeds, sizes, and ages. I also gained invaluable knowledge about dog body language and the best ways to interact with anxious or shy dogs. Through working with Rover, I’ve gained a lot of experience working with cats and have learned to take a unique approach to each cat based off of their personality and temperament. I currently have full-time availability, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets that I sit. I also love taking lots of cute pictures to send to pet parents! I am open to new clients and can’t wait to build a bond with your pet/pets! I am currently available full-time. A day of pet care for me would be having one housesitting booked and a few drop-ins or walks. I would spend my time with the pet I’m housesitting for, when I’m not completing another booking, making sure they’re kept company and all their needs are met. When housesitting, I try to spend most of my time with the pet/pets, whether that means walks, playing, or simply lounging together. When doing walks/drop-ins and housesitting, I treat the owner’s house with the utmost respect.
“Victoria is so great with my Winnie :) Very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always takes the cutest pictures! It puts me at ease while i’m at work knowing she’s in good hands.”
“Cheryl was terrific. I needed a walker that day and Cheryl was very quick to respond, walked and fed my pup and sent a picture of him on their walk. I came home to a happy pup and an accident free apartment. I will definitely book with Cheryl again and you should too!”
“John was incredible! He went above and beyond to ensure my doggy was taken care of and also helped with some of her training as well. We can’t wait to work with him again 😁”
About: I have been pet sitting since high school and am a trained vet tech to handle any situation! I am applying to vet school this summer and am very determined to take care of animals to best of my abilities. I work 3 11 hour shifts per week, but other than that I am happy to take care of pets. I love structure and schedule, and adding in feeding, long walks, and play time would be awesome. I have grown up with pets my whole life, so applying your routine in your home will be so easy for me! I am very accustomed to the routines of animals, as the animal hospital I work at also has boarding.
About: I’ve grown up caring for my family cats. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and fish for neighbors and family. I love to give pets all the cuddles they need! I’m currently working part-time at the aquarium on weekends for the most part so I’m available during the week or if you need drop-in visits on the weekends! I care for my cat in my home every day. My mom and stepdad have depended on me to take care of their cat and fish while on trips

Ruby was great with my Corgi! He likes to take his time on walks and stop to sniff everything, so I really appreciated that Ruby was patient with him and didn’t rush him. She gave him plenty of time to enjoy his walk and kept me updated with a photo. He came back happy and tired! I’d definitely have Ruby walk him again.
Elisabeth did a phenomenal job walking my dog. I am usually hesitant to hire help because my dog can have some behavioral issues, but Elisabeth made sure he was comfortable and safe on each walk. She went above and beyond to send me daily updates with lots of pictures. Elisabeth is extremely responsible, kind, flexible, and my dog had such a great time with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North Decatur. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
